Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott happy to reach 100 goals

Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott was delighted with his goal in their rout of Hull City.

The goal was his 100th career strike.

"The three points is the main thing. We had a very tough game against Southampton, we got a great point at PSG in the week and we've been tested this week with a coupe of away games," he told arsenal.com.

"Hull wasn't going to be easy - they've had a very good start and I think they'll take a lot of points against teams here. Sometimes people say it's a lot easier when teams go down to 10 men but it is very difficult to be honest, because you need to break them down. Giving away the penalty was a bit scary but the guys fought on well and Alexis got his deserved goal."
